Synoptic Discussion
Late on the 28th and on the 29th, series of weak low pressures moved
northeast through North Carolina and Viriginia along a cold front which
had passed through the Mid-Atlantic earlier on the 28th. The last
low moved off the Viriginia coast and out to sea late on the 29th.

Local Discussion
Snow began falling in northwest New Jersey early in the morning on the
29th. Around 3 inches accumulated in Warren and Morris counties
with 4 to 5 inches in Sussex County. Further south, precipitation
started as rain during the evening of the 28th but turned to sleet and
snow during the early morning hours of the 29th. Accumulations
were lighter, mainly 2 to 3 inches. Little if any snow fell in
Atlantic, Cumberland, and Cape May counties. Precipitation ended
by mid-morning on the 29th.
